Hnh.It's been a week since the unpleasant meeting, and right after it, I sent out bullet points of things I needed addressed quickly.

The discussion of these points isn't even starting until half an hour from now. Tomorrow is another unpleasant meeting. And I've got to decide if I'm going to do what everyone else seems to do (be a nonspecific, non-blaming weaslyass making promises that can't be kept) or my usual eyeore straighforward self.

Yeah, like that is going to be a hard decision.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

doctors want at least three tests per day or more, as it helps keep sugar levels from fluctuating, causing long term organ damage, leading to Bad and EXPENSIVE things like blindness, kidney failure, gangrene.

Oh, prevention. Pfft. Prevention isn't the American way! Go big and let somebody else clean up the pieces, that's the way we do things in this country! Even when the somebody else is us!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Of those 2008 in photos pictures, #28 breaks my heart in ways some of the more violent ones don't. Kenya's a wild place, man. Maasai battles with bows and arrows? Dude. 2008? Dude.

#38 is wrong too. Sometimes I can make peace with adults killing adults, but kids? Oy.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

It was looking through some sort of window through time except they were mostly dressed like, you know, ME.

Though there was at least one guy who was not. He was dressed traditionally. I wonder, does he usually? Did he for the battle?

I did wonder. Do they all hang out together, some dressed traditionally and others in jeans?

There's a Maasai guy in LA with the plates and everything. I don't know if he's the real deal, but he's certainly tricked out his jeep.

Our wings are not tired.

Extra evil ita. Excellent post number.

Yeah, that all I got. Wanna get out of the office now, but have to wait for a ride.

I got called into work at the bookstore tonight, but only for as long as it'll take me to contact the special orders. Yay for short shifts!

I was just looking at the weather forecast for tomorrow, and I think I'll be coming into work very early, just so I can leave equally early. We've got up to 3/4 of an inch of ice predicted starting late tomorrow afternoon--ugh. If I get in by 7:30 am, I can leave by 3:00 or so.

After the man tries to pay bill with spider drawing, the drawing sells for too much on ebay. I love people.
